This book is more of a contemporary story than a romance. It was emotionally heavier than I had anticipated.

This story gave a good description on living as a Palestinian in occupied Palestine. The simple act of taking interest in local history and wanting to learn more is almost comically inaccessible, let alone trying to do anything else. The symbolism of the story would be really interesting to dissect.

A brief but informative summary on the occupation of Palestine. A good starting point on the subject.

I loved the spice but the plot wasn’t doing it for me. I wish there was more time in between suitors. Also MC fell a bit flat for me.
